lie it. known that I, Flusx M. Amber, a citizen of the United States, and resident at W Sixth atreat and Dewey avenue, New cit borough of Break! a, la the county 0 Kluge and State of cw Yark, have invented eertlin new and useful lutn'oveuteuts in Mailing-Tubes, of which the ollowing itra tieation.

tventien relates to mailingtubea,- and the object of the invention is to irovide aauhatitnte for the tube which will lave certain advantages, and which will reduce the coat oflate the coat of the It Wha e, the wei it o the package, and

whielrwtll allow the drawings or other papent inehaaetl, to he renttn'etl e'itltottt danger of hain torn. and alm pernnta of the wrappeml up'iaored'in a more convenient mant me of the ttnt'utt'hit'h I denim to make ofj the new device, is to mail lateat-Onlee drawiuga. mnaailiratimtn. ete.

Referring to the drawiu which form a 5 part of thin amilieation: l' guru l. in a pet'- iertlre view of the completed package towing the mcaun need to hold the package together, the cord being ahown aa aaaing through the interior of the tube. Fig. 2. m

I. a view in which the cord is shown as being fastened permanently to the ltllltl ends. Fig. it. at a hltmtudmal nenliumtl view of one of tha'tuhe, nda, diva-hired in Fin. 2.

gether by glue or other suitable mean, but

when made from tin or other metal, the tube cad may be drawn up in one, piece-to advantage. For the use of patent attorneya, the wra per .which enntaina the addlel, may made of the proper width to accommodate the width of the drawinge, and the addrelt may be printed on the wrapper, a0 theta package may he made up without inof time. and the wrapper may he of auitable weight aml toughn'em to protect the drawinga within, the ntitinera ot 'the drawing acrviug to hold the package in cylindrical form as elmwtt. 'lhe drawin are rolled and wrapped and the tube Hit it placed over the ends as shown, and the cord panned through as ahown in Fig. l. or connected aa ahowu iu Fir. '1. and the package ia coin lete. 'lheenda o the drawiu are irntectet ,the weight of the package at mu 'l lent than t! in a regular mailin -tube, and there ia no danger 'ot tearing tie drawings in taking them from the tube-ends. The tube-ends are I.

inad'e of several ditl'erent diameter-a to accommodate the ntZt' of the roll of drama and where the apecilicationn are wrapped w thin the drawinpt, the cord holtht them from alippnnz out ot the package through the hole III the tulle-end.

The device in very simple and ite line has demonm'ratcd that it saves time and pnatap, and prevents the tearing of the drawings when removing them from the tube.

Having thus deaeribed my invention, what y tl xilvlv nml ilnhlillik'l wrapper for the; Wilnvsm:
